Does the Midget invitation have anything to do with you needing a bodyguard Goggs?

Few understand what I'm trying to do but they vastly outnumber those who understand why...................

Couple of things here. We're in South South Canada, actually no, we're in Australia which is a bit south of there. Anyhow, I read with interest the mounties claim that the man was travelling at 226km/h as I have a Malibu as my work car. There are only two possible ways this could go. Either, there is a decimal point missing somewhere or the Malibu they are talking about is a whole different animal. The 2.4l fwd 4 cylinder automatic that I drive feels "sprightly" up to 125km/h but 226km/h I think not.

Carry on.

As a bit more of an off-track comment, last September at the Shootout there was an FIA guy driving a rental Camaro. I don't know Camaro models well enough to tell you the style of car he was driving - other than he had got it from a rental agency when he landed somewhere out west. Just for the heck of it -- 'cause there was some time available before the next run -- he ran it through the traps. Twice. As I remember he got a pair of timing slips at about 155 mph. Stock, hey? And without a tweak to a speed limiter or whatever might be in the car.

Or at least, so he stated.

This is from the Car Connection website.

At the top of the performance ladder is the ZL1 coupe and convertible. With their supercharged, 580-hp version of the 6.2-liter (with either transmission) and the magnetic shocks found in the Corvette and some Cadillacs, it not only provides near-supercar numbers (0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds, a top speed of 184 mph); it's also affordable, considering that, at about $60k.

Even more affordable is the new-for-2014 Camaro Z/28. With a focus on track capability, the Z/28 takes after the original 1960s models, and not the later '70s and '80s ones carrying that nomenclature. In it, a 7.0-liter V-8 makes 500 horsepower and 470 lb-ft. There's no standard A/C, and all Z/28s have a six-speed manual gearbox, but the design saves 100 pounds overall in weight. Spool-valve dampers, stiffer spring rates, and special Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires all add to the track chops.

A 28-year-old man from Sydney driving a Chevrolet Malibu – a rental vehicle – was stopped and charged with stunting. His rental vehicle was then towed and impounded for seven days.The man’s licence was automatically suspended for seven days and, if convicted, he faces a fine of $2,418.95.

If we did that here, he would have been arrested and held until a court date could be found. His car would have been impounded for a minimum of 30 days and he would have had his license cancelled on the spot for minimum 12 months, which is what you get for 30 over the speed limit here.They start enforcement at 3 kmph over the speed limit.
